[PATCH kvm-unit-tests] x86/pmu: Add Intel Guest Transactional (commited) cycles testcase

From: Like Xu
Date: Wed Dec 07 2022 - 02:15:35 EST


From: Like Xu <likexu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

On Intel platforms with TSX feature, pmu users in guest can collect
the commited or total transactional cycles for a tsx-enabled workload,
adding new test cases to cover them, as they are not strictly the same
as normal hardware events from the KVM implementation point of view.
